The Roof; Thursday Morning.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna found herself in a bit of repose (certainly not emo, thank you very much) on the roof, sitting with her body positioned toward the ocean and the many things that lie beyond it. Of course, one of the first things she did when she, Ami, and Billy returned from the rendezvous point was alert the people back at Kansai that Amagasaki was on the move again, but it still didn't settle her nerves at all that they should be willing to go this far just to get rid of her. If they were planning something and it went further beyond Tsukuyomi's little girlcrush quest to beat her...they must be planning something really big if they figured she was a threat while in an entirely different country still...

Thus...restlessness. And emoing...errrr, thinking on the roof.


[[ roofs. they be open. ]]

"Mmm." Alphonse's eyes drifted away from Setsuna and down at the small town from their vantage point. He had fallen silent for a short while before he spoke up again; "Um, I did want to apologize for ending our night so abruptly on Tuesday..."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"On Tues--" Setsuna turned toward Alphonse, at first confused. Her mind was so far away that even just Tuesday felt ages ago, but then it came around to what he was refering to. "Oh!" She let out a small laugh, ducking her head. "It...it's okay." She bit her lip a little, hesitant to admit, "It...it was cute..."

Alphonse's eyes went a little wide, almost embarrassed to hear that, and was glad he could easily hide his face the way he was positioned now. It was not, his mind shouted, he'd fallen right asleep in the middle of their evening! "Errr," he'd fallen at a loss of words on how to respond to that. "T-that's... good, I didn't want to ruin anything..."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"It was a rather long film," Setsuna offered, to assure him that nothing at all had been ruined. "And...ridiculously comfortable, remember?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Well..." he laughed. "Yeah, it was."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna smiled back at Alphonse, but it was backed with hesitation. It wasn't fair! That such a nice memory of time spent with him had to be tainted by the fact that while she was getting ridiculously comfortable with him and watching a ronin fighting an evil warlord in a babboo forest, Ami was being kidnapped by perverted plushie monkeys. She let out a sigh. Why couldn't her life just be more normal?

"Next time I promise not to fall asleep," Alphonse said, easing up by now.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"What's the last part you remember?" Setsuna asked. "We can just start there next time." And, while she knew it was silly, there was sort of a jolt of happiness over the fact that they were saying 'next time.'

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Uh." Alphonse had to think about that; he did remember his mind drifting off to everywhere else but the movie. "I... think there was that sword fight between two of those guys, by a... shrine, was it?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna tilted her head, going back through the scenes in her head. "Is that...before or after the shrine priestess was slain by the ninja?" she asked...really hoping it was after so she didn't just completely ruin that part of the movie for Alphonse.

Alphonse lifted his head towards her. "She was?" he asked, surprised to hear that.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna's palm immediately met her forehead. "I guess that answers that one," she said with a small, apologetic whimper. "Yeah, they have to kill her because she was associated with th--" The hand moved down to cover her mouth. "Oh, man! I almost ruined even more of it for you by mentioning how she used to be the warlord's lover!"

Blink.

"Oi..."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse immediately followed with a laugh. "It's fine," he said, shaking his head. "It's just a movie. I still might be surprised when I see it."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"There are a lot of other big plot points that I haven't completely ruined for you, too, Alphonse, dont' worry...." She let out a small, nervous sort of embarrassed laugh.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I'm not," he assured her. "I'm sure I missed out on a lot of it."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"So, we'll just...try again? Maybe...a little earlier? Or somewhere less comfortable?" Although she did sound a little like the second option wasn't as appealing at all.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't tired when we started..." Alphonse said, awkwardly. "Guessing maybe I did get too comfortable through it."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"And here you didn't believe me," Setsuna teased nudging him, slightly, awkwardly with the injury, "when I said it could be a bad thing."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"It's not! I mean-- I thought you said it was okay!"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Face a little pink, Setsuna ducked her head in amusement. "It is. I'm just teasing you, Alphonse...Again. We've discussed this teasing thing..."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Always with the teasing," Alphonse said in jest, shortly hiding his face in his knees again.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"What comes around, goes around?" Setsuna offered with a small laugh.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I don't tease nearly as much as you do," Alphonse commented.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Not lately, no," Setsuna admitted, "but you've been real terrible before. I'm just making up for lost time."

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse rolled his eyes playfully. "I have not been terrible."
